Answer:

0.7333... (recurring)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know that in the first three minutes the water rose 2.2, in order to find the rise per minute all we need to do is divide 2.2 by 3. This will give us the value of just one minute!

  • 2.2 ÷ 3 = 0.7333... (recurring)

FUN FACT:

In reality, the water's temperatures would not rise in exact measurements per minute and it could vary through time.

Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
